About the Course:
This course focuses on the latest features and enhancements in the Segmentation Foundation module for the R2024.06 product release. The Segmentation Foundation empowers businesses to segment data flexibly using machine learning, set and monitor policy parameters, and track key performance indicators across segment and dimension hierarchies. It also provides insights through the analysis of transactional data, such as sales, purchase, and production orders, offering a comprehensive say-do analysis across the supply chain.

New features in this release include the AI Segmentation Handshake plugin, which integrates store grading and clustering into the assortment planning process, enhancing precision and control. Additionally, a new section for Production Analytics introduces Touchless Planning and Plan Attainment metrics, allowing users to evaluate the planning system's effectiveness and adherence to published plans. The Inventory Components Analysis feature provides a detailed breakdown of on-hand inventory, helping users manage current and future inventory needs with insights into various stock types.

Feature enhancements include the ability to evaluate plan attainment at a chosen lag in Procurement and Distribution Analytics, offering planners a way to assess planning system performance weeks before actual purchases or distributions. These updates and improvements to existing features like the SSIS Batch Orchestrator continue to enhance the Segmentation Foundation's ability to deliver valuable insights and support data-driven decision-making.
